How does JOSEPH STALIN impact the course of the war or history in general?
Joseph Stalin was the Russian communist dictator that took over Vladimir Lenin from the late 1920s to 1953 (his death). He’s known for killing probably around 10 million people in Russia due to his lack of care (famine, shortages, etc.) Although Stalin looked innocent, he truly wasn’t. He was evil as he was powerful. However, he wasn’t an Axis, although he did sign a pact with Hitler concerning Poland. But when Hitler broke the pact and took over Poland, Stalin then decided to take action, however he wasn’t completely with the Allies. He is known as one of the Big Three, along with Winston Churchill and Franklin D. Roosevelt, later substituted by Harry Truman in the Yalta Conference. In the end, Stalin is a key factor in the development of the Cold War (the Nuclear weapons armsrace) and is the main face of the Communist party.
